Electrochemical interaction between biodegradable ZX10 and WZ31 magnesium alloys and medical Ti6Al4V titanium alloy by Pavel N. Myagkikh, Evgeny D. Merson, Vitaly A. Poluyanov, Dmitry L. Merson, Marina E. Begun

“…It was found that for both magnesium alloys, with an increase in the area ratio, the effect of electrochemical action decreases significantly, which is expressed in a decrease in the corrosion rate. At the same time, for the WZ31 alloy, the effect of the presence of Ti6Al4V on the corrosion rate is significantly weaker than for ZX10, which is explained by the presence of the LPSO phase in the alloy, as well as a more alloyed matrix and, accordingly, having a more positive electrode potential.…”

Abnormal Esophageal Scintigraphy Associates With a Distinct Clinical Phenotype in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis by Antonio D. Salas, Lisa R. Yanek, Laura K. Hummers, Ami A. Shah, Zsuzsanna H. McMahan

“…Lower diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide values correlated with a higher esophageal transit time (ρ = −0.32; P = 0.014). After adjusting for disease duration, delayed esophageal transit was significantly associated with severe Medsger lung scores, severe Raynaud phenomenon, and higher modified Rodnan skin scores. …”

Observational Study on the Characteristics of the Boundary Layer during Changes in the Intensity of Tropical Cyclones Landing in Guangdong, China by Fei Liao, Ran Su, Pak-Wai Chan, Yanbin Qi, Kai-Kwong Hon

“…The observations indicate that when the tangential wind velocity in the maximum wind velocity radius reaches the velocity of the supergradient wind and when the radial inflow either gradually increases towards the centre of the tropical cyclone or gradually covers the entire boundary layer, the angular momentum tends to be shifted towards the centre. At this time, the maximum radial inflow, maximum tangential wind, and maximum angular momentum are in the same height range in the vertical direction. …”

Ecotope-Based Entomological Surveillance and Molecular Xenomonitoring of Multidrug Resistant Malaria Parasites in Anopheles Vectors by Prapa Sorosjinda-Nunthawarasilp, Adisak Bhumiratana

“…MDR malaria is the heritable and hypermutable property of human malarial parasite populations that can decrease in vitro and in vivo susceptibility to proven antimalarial drugs as they exhibit dose-dependent drug resistance and delayed parasite clearance time in treated patients. MDR malaria risk situations reflect consequences of the national policy and strategy as this influences the ongoing national-level or subnational-level implementation of malaria control strategies in endemic GMS countries. …”
